The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Xiao Hei stopped at the gate of the villa, and Mikael turned sideways. Although he didn't say it clearly, no matter how stupid Mei was, he would not think that he was talking to him.

I really don’t know what my father said to Mikael, but I always feel like he seems a little...excited now? But along the way, Mei Yi didn't hear a word from him, as if she was deliberately suppressing something.

At first she thought it was the presence of this aunt named Jizi that made him not want to say more, but she was staring at the rearview mirror the whole time, and Mikael didn't even look at her?

It's not like...she herself is redundant, right?

Yayi turned to look at the old aunt on the side. She was finally willing to put down the hand covering her face. She glanced at Yayi awkwardly, then looked at the deep garden of the villa through the car window, and replied dryly:

"Forget it...forget it, just send me back to the academy."

"Pfft——"

Mikael burst out laughing. He finally turned to look at Mei Yi, suppressing a smile and said:

"Watch Mei Yi, this guy who goes out all day long to catch up with men and steal money is the chief teacher of a certain academy. After you graduate from Qianyu Academy, you must never go to her school. garden."

"you……"

What could Ji Zi say, she could only bury her head in her chest.

Meiyi had already opened the car door handle and paused after hearing this. This was the first thing Mikael said to her tonight.

"So, what's the name of that academy?"

Mei glanced at Himeko with some embarrassment. She knew that Mikael was just joking, so she didn't even tell the name of the academy. But she really didn't expect that the aunt named Himeko she met by chance would actually be the same as him. She knew Mikael, and his temperament... how should I put it, was very different from the teacher in her impression - is this the difference between high school and college?

"Ahem! You don't need to ask this, just ask for your blessings!"

"snort!"

Mei knew that Mikael had something to talk to Jizi, but despite this, she was still a little annoyed that Mikael didn't even look at her the whole way, so she just snorted coldly and got out of the car and went home. .

"so good……"

Ji Zi raised her head again and watched Mei push open the door of the villa with some difficulty, straighten her upper body and walk step by step on the dark garden path, her eyes almost overflowing with envy.

"Are you envious of her youth or her innocence?"

"Ah... they all have it."

As Mikael spoke, he turned Xiao Hei's headlights to the brightest.

The sudden brightness startled Mei Yi, she pouted and turned around, then wrinkled her nose at Mikael and made a face.

"Hmph! How childish."

"Do you not like it?"

Jizi was a little surprised. She was also a Bensan, and she could easily distinguish between a tone of playful disgust and a tone of true disgust.

It wouldn't matter if Mikael simply hated the girl in front of him, but he was still afraid that she was afraid of the dark, so he deliberately used the headlights of the car to illuminate her for an extra distance. Isn't this contradictory?

"Who likes childishness?"

Mikael shook his head, his tone flat with a hint of imperceptible annoyance.

Jizi frowned. She didn't care whether she was naive or not. From a personal point of view, she envied such naivety and carefreeness, but she knew that her and Mikael's lives were different after all. Naturally, his concepts are different. Of course he has the right to hate childishness, but...

But the question is, does he really hate childishness?

Words may be false, but actions may not. Whether he dislikes naivety or not, at least he doesn't dislike that girl.

"Is that...Thunder Ryoma's daughter?"

"Oh? You know."

"We have been dealing with Raiden Ryoma for several years, so of course we don't even recognize his daughter. Well... it was too dark at first so I didn't recognize her... Haha, I have heard about the anti-entropy mecha technology for a long time."

Jizi patted the seat of the car vigorously, as if she was letting off steam... wasn't it? Not long ago, she was photographed by Xiaohei when she was taking off.

How could Mikael not know what she was thinking? But because of this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

The only pity is that I arrived in a hurry and didn't have the chance to take a photo of the scene and observe it carefully.

"Let's go and take you back to St. Freya. By the way, do you still need me to help you block the arrow in front of Principal Teresa this time?"

Feeling that Mikael was trying to change the topic, Jizi pursed her lips and smiled. While Mikael was reversing the car, she completely relaxed and lay facelessly on the back seat, without any trace of emotion in her tone. The tension you feel after doing something bad.

"Did you forget something? Today is the first day of the New Year, and it is also the last day of winter vacation this year."

"Oh...oh? So what? It's a holiday? Is this why you, a teacher, can go to the city to drink and catch men on dates?"

Jizi's blushing face twitched slightly. It can only be said that one mistake caused eternal hatred. That night was just a twitch in the brain. Now it seems that as long as this guy doesn't die, this joke will probably stay with him for the rest of his life.

But she immediately realized what happened today was completely different from last time. What did she have to feel guilty about?

"Tsk! I'm sorry to disappoint you. This time it's just a daily blind date."

"Are you...are you sure? If you run and chase him, this is your blind date? How can a blind date be turned into a spy movie?"

"Uh...well...this issue is a bit complicated."

Mikael hummed and smiled, and then said casually:

"How complicated is it?"

"well……"

Speaking of this, Jizi couldn't help but cover her forehead and sigh.

"We were chatting casually online, but this guy just bought a plane ticket to come to Changkong City. I was really..."

"Can't we not see him?"

When talking about this, Jizi covered her forehead again.

"He is the young master from HK. Tianming and China have had many cooperation projects in the past ten years. This is what their family does. He is related to some senior officials of Tianming and China. I can't refuse him easily."

"It's hard to refuse? You are the A-level Valkyrie of Destiny... Well, it seems that you can't handle this. What about Theresa? Don't think I don't know. Theresa is the granddaughter of Archbishop Otto of Destiny. With her Is it difficult for you to reject a suitor because of the weight of your words?”

Jizi tilted her head when she heard this, and for a moment she couldn't figure out whether Mikael meant it or not. These words were obviously extremely childish, but if I remember correctly, he also said "who would like childishness" not long ago, right?

"Hey! Please! When you were a child and your classmates said something bad to you, did you have to go to the teacher crying and go home to find your parents to help you get justice?"

"..."

"Teresa can indeed solve this matter easily, but with her nagging character, I'm afraid... in short, there is no need to ask her to take action on such a small matter. Besides, I have some illusions, right? What if I meet him and find him suitable? He looks like a handsome guy in the photo, and I’m not too young, so if he’s suitable, haha.”

"but?"

Mikael silently picked up these two words.

Ji Zi rolled her eyes at him and followed his "but":

"But it's not appropriate!"

"Then?"

Mikael uttered two words softly, which made Jizi even more angry.

"Then he stalks and fights, what else can happen?"

"So? I thought you would fix him up and stop him from thinking about it."

"Huh? In your eyes, am I such a ignorant person? I am a little A-level Valkyrie, but I don't dare to offend such a 'big shot'. Besides, even if you do it, I will be the one who is at fault. My fair lady. Okay, he was just a little annoyed and didn’t do anything extraordinary.”

"So instead of getting into trouble and asking Theresa to wipe your butt, why not endure this and go back and beg Theresa to come forward and solve the problem, right?"

Ji Zi snorted and then said nothing. She was used to it. The Mikael today was a little different from the one she saw that night. His spirit seemed to be unexpectedly high. She was excited and very sharp at the same time, and every word she spoke made her heart ache.

"Whatever you think."

"If you ask me, you probably drank too little tonight."

"hehe……"

"If Fan gets a little drunker, I'm afraid you're going to push him on the table and punch him three times."

Jizi looked at the lights receding outside the window and no longer wanted to pay attention to this person.

Normally, she would certainly not care about these jokes from Mikael. But the human mind is such a fickle and treacherous thing. Everything went wrong today. Even if she jumped high, she would be slapped by artificial intelligence. It was strange that she was in a good mood.

When you are in a bad mood, your tolerance for jokes naturally decreases. Besides, although he and Mikael knew each other, they had not exchanged a few words in total. To say that the relationship was not good would be an exaggeration, and to say that the relationship was good... would also be an exaggeration.

It's just that they have just skipped the stage of strangers, but they can't be completely considered friends. It would be fine if we got along well today, but now we can only be regarded as... half friends?

snort! They were not acquaintances in the first place.

The car drove onto the bridge, and the originally bright lights of thousands of houses have become the lingering afterimage behind them. What is entrenched in front of them is a piece of "black ink" connected to the distant sky. Even so, this is just the sea left in Changkong City. It's just a small shallow bay on the edge.

But a shallow bay is a shallow bay, and white lights flash from time to time in the darkness. They are as big as the tip of a needle, but they are not as heart-stopping as the cold light of the tip. Although it is a cold and deep sea, after all, it reflects the lights in the city, so it naturally brings the temperature that only lights can have.

Ji Zi's mind gradually calmed down, and then she spoke again for some unknown reason:

"St. Freya Academy is moving."

Mikael was not surprised, neither by Jizi's reversal of attitude, nor by her words. He just asked calmly:

"Is this okay to say?"

"Ang. This is not a secret. The academy is something that is always open to the public. Besides, it is impossible for such a big academy to be relocated without any news. I don't think you find it strange. You already know it if you think about it. Come on."

"No, I do not know."

"..."

Mikael didn't lie. His thoughts have been on Mei Yi lately, so how can he care about anything else? But he remembered that although St. Freya Academy is also in the far east, it should not be in Changkong City...

"Haha, my vigilance is getting worse and worse. This little guy Otto may have discovered me eight years ago, so he deliberately arranged the Far East Branch in Changkong City, and now the collapse of Changkong City is about to break out. , and the location of St. Freya Academy is too close to create an opportunity for those two guys to get closer... Tsk tsk tsk."

This seems like something Otto would do, but this time, Otto may be a step slower...

A strange smile appeared on Mikael's face, and Jizi, who had been staring out the car window, naturally didn't notice it.

"Listening to what you said, it sounds like you are leaving Changkong City tomorrow?"

Jizi's eyes turned back to the front, and the two looked at each other through the rearview mirror.

"Do you understand what secrets are..."

"don't know."

"Come on, aren't you just trying to trick me?"

Of course she could tell him about the school's relocation, because it was not a secret, and it couldn't be a secret. But the specific time and the transfer of personnel... If St. Freya Academy is an ordinary school, that's it. But as the East Branch of Destiny, the time of the operation and the transfer of personnel are military secrets.

Ji Zi was not drunk tonight. Of course, even if she was drunk, she was confident that she would not be tricked into talking.

But if you think about it carefully, there is actually a third situation - which force does Mikael belong to? I have never heard of such a person in Anti-Entropy before. What if he is actually an enemy?

Jizi's muscles all over her body tensed up. It wasn't her fault for her random thoughts, but as a warrior, her previous attitude towards Mikael was indeed a bit too close without confirming the other party's specific identity. Even she herself couldn't explain why this happened...

At this moment, the car suddenly stopped.

"Um?"

Jizi was so frightened that she almost took action directly. Fortunately, she saw her surroundings clearly in time - she had actually arrived at the gate of St. Freya Academy.

What was more enough to wake her up was that there were three figures standing directly in front of the car.

Principal Theresa, of course there is nothing to say.

That Chinese girl named Hua...

"I have already sent a message to Hua, asking her to wait for you here."

Mikael explained softly.

"Then...why is the Bishop here too?"

Jizi squinted her eyes, and although her hand was on the door handle, she had no intention of getting out of the car for a moment.

Unlike most of her colleagues, she doesn't like the Archbishop of Destiny in her heart. Although she doesn't dislike him too much, it would be best if she could avoid some contact with him.

But soon she realized that she was overthinking. After all, she was just an ordinary A-level Valkyrie. How could she let the Archbishop of Destiny wait so late at night?

There are only two answers in total, excluding myself, that is...

Mikael turned to her and smiled.

"Get out of the car. I have something to talk to your bishop about."

Jizi covered her face again, got out of the car and ran back behind Theresa quickly.

"Then...Grandpa, should I take her back first?"

"Um."

Otto snorted slightly, smiling playfully, his eyes never leaving Mikael.

On the contrary, Hua turned her head and stared at the crescent moon on the sea from the moment Mikael got off the car. But the words still have to be spoken:

"I won't stay."

"good."

Mikael nodded and stopped two steps in front of Otto.

When the other three people disappeared completely, Otto smiled and waved his hand, and two gorgeous sofas appeared in the middle of the road.

Mikael also smiled, and the two of them sat down in unison. At some point, Otto had a goblet in his hand. Mikael snapped his fingers, and an identical thing appeared in his hand.

"There's no need to make wine, right?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"if not?"

Mikael chuckled. Yes, he took it for granted that the other party also had the power of space...

The two looked at each other, and their smiles gradually disappeared, leaving only numbness and plainness.

One of the clear goblets was filled with blood, and the other was filled with moonlight. The two of them clinked their glasses gently, and then drank their respective portions in one gulp.

"The relocation work of the Far East Branch actually started a week ago. The campus over there was under construction a few years ago. Now we just need to move people there. There will be some finishing work tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, Changkong City will not There is St. Freya Academy.”

Otto seemed to be talking to himself, but Mikael understood what he meant.

"Okay, then the day after tomorrow."

Mikael and Otto looked at each other and smiled. It was obvious that although this was not the day they were really waiting for, they still had the same impatience.

Then there was a few minutes of silence. There was nothing in common between the two of them... Actually, it wasn't that they didn't have anything in common. It was just that the words they spoke seemed to be provoking trouble.

Besides, there is no need.

Mikael gently touched the armrest of the sofa with his hand, and suddenly sighed for no reason:

"Are you very skilled in using my power?"

Otto did not answer, but smiled with an unknown meaning.

Mikael shrugged. He was just being sentimental. Also, Void Manzo was not only a battle-type God Key, it also stored almost all the knowledge of previous civilizations. This naturally includes history.

Even without Hua or Su's prompting, it is actually not surprising that Otto could fully know his identity.

And Otto was not as hostile as he imagined. Perhaps he knew very well that with his current strength, he was nothing in front of Mikael. Since you can't successfully kill the opponent, there is no need to show hostility, just hide it. Doesn't this sound familiar to him? When Kallen died, didn't he also hide the seeds of hatred and lay dormant for more than ten years before rising up at the most critical moment and completing his revenge on mortals?

But there is another possibility, another more likely possibility - this man, he has already guessed what the other man is going to do.

After all...he can be considered his descendant.

"Don't look at me like that. Otto, let me be blunt. Our goals are the same."

Mikael directly gave a positive answer, and then he and Otto looked at each other and smiled for the first time.
